being from sf, this is the most plausible explanation I ever heard for the lineage of girl scout cookies.
The strain started as accidental herm pollinations from hid light burn in a large scale bay area commercial grow. Each time a plant hermed, they would grow out the seeds from the adjacent plants for a cheap crop of guaranteed females.
They started with a bay area cherry pie clone seeded with herm pollen from their cut of durban poison. this generation was called durban pie.
from that seed stock, they selected a unique durban pie mutant which was briefly circulated as a clone.
that cut was then pollinated by an og female. (The forum cut was a bagseed grown from this generation of seeds.)
Then this generation of seeds was hit by pollen from the same og cut as the previous generation, like a back crossed s1.
That stock produced the classic thin mint girl scout cookies cut.
it’s unclear whether berner was actually involved in the grows up to this point, or if he was just the connect, but he coined the name girl scout cookies.
Girl scout cookies became popular in the local cannabis scene.
Berner supplied a beloved bay area rapper named Jacka, who put berner on several albums called drought season 1 and 2. this gave berner a platform to promote cookies.
word of mouth about cookies makes it to other states.
The cookies fam company sprung up later as berner’s marketing and sales outlet for merch and legalized marijuana.
